Beats dropping HTC isn't going to make me like HTC any less. Beats are such a mid-level, high-priced fashion statements that gives me an instant visual indicator of people who care more about how "cool" they look vs. how much they care about the quality of the sound going into their ears.
In fact, I think HTC should dump them preemptively and team up with a company that knows what audio quality is. Bring in Grado or Sennheiser!
NO Beats is no deal breaker for me. I actually keep it turned off , sounds better off when using it with my trucks BT.

Mid-level? You're giving beats way too much credit. I've seen literally thousands of them disassembled, and they're absolutely no better than those $10 phillips headphones with the little foam covers. Not to mention how unbelievably cheap the materials are.

That's a feature, not a bug!
If you want to see something really bad, look at the Beats Pill. Compare it to a Bose Soundlink Mini (same price), and see if you can tell if the Pill is broken or not.
We had one to prototype for our customization service here at work, and we had to order a second one because we thought we broke the first.
but i'm talkin about for mass marketing, yeah we know that beats is kinda gimmicky but ppl who buy things lik the iphone don't realize it, business wise, it makes then look bad

Quoted for effect. My Grados with a small portable amp are way better than any beats, period. If you disagree, then your ears are broken.
Yeah this is a positive if anything. Beats is marketing garbage, and they are starting to get a lot of crap for it. I'm seconding a sennheiser partnership.

Umm what does this have to do with purchasing a HTC phone op?
HTC owns 25% of beats the company. At one point HTC owned a majority stake of beats. If I was HTC I would s-can beats. It is a trendy fad that will soon pass. Their cans are by far the worst for audio leakage. My $30 senns have much better sound quality and people near may are not annoyed by my tunes. Beats falls right in line with Bose. Excellent marketing, mediocre product. High profits from the uninformed.
I also agree with the above. I wish my device didn't have the beats logo on it.

Bose's products have actually come quite a ways since their early "no highs, no lows, must be Bose" days. The technology in them is pretty astounding if you really look at them. There's no reason to lump them in with Beats. I work with both on a daily basis, along with the occasional Sennheiser HD800, which is far and away above the others (at $1600 it better be!), and there's no way Beats is anywhere near Bose. Pull a pair of each apart and if you tell me Beats is anywhere near the quality of Bose, you're nuts.

We'll agree to disagree irt Bose. Their marketing campaign hasn't changed in years. The same goes with their products. Take it from an owner (sucker) of their lifestyle speaker system. I too was a young buck with a pocket full of cash. I sooooo regret that purchase every time I listen to it. Slowly each component is being replaced in my home theater set up.
Since then I have earned my electronics engineering degree and have had over 16 years in the industry. I will never purchase another Bose product in my lifetime.
There are better components out on the market that are less expensive. I let my own observations and other users experience factor in my purchasing experience vice an ad campaign.
Probably doesn't look good to see this headline for the uninformed, but I am sure HTC can still manage some kind of 'sound enhancing' quality to include with their phones. Maybe just a custom built-in equalizer or something, or a different partnership altogether. Either way, I think this is far from their biggest problem.

Im looking to buy a Digital SLR Camera. I am looking for something in the $500 area. I need opinions as to which camera to get. I need it to get extra clear shots indoors and outdoors. As my newborn grows up it will be very difficult to get a picture of him steady so i need a fast camera. Also burst mode will be very good. I want HD video which in that price range pretty much all of them have it.
Right now after some research i am between the cameras below:

I never buy from best buy. I go there, have some hands-on time with the products, and if i decide which one i want, i come home and hunt for the best deal online.
oh, and i found that camera you posted for $547 so that puts it right on my budget.
That camera is the same as the T3i, without an articulating screen
Since there's plenty of cam reviews out there to help you make your decision on the cam body, I thought I would offer a few other pointers:
- Get an external flash unit that you can rotate to bounce the flash. This works wonders for your indoor shots. Plus, it won't blind your child like the built-in flash would.
- Get a zoom lens. My usual lens of choice is the Nikkor 35mm. But once my son learned how to crawl, it was impossible to shoot with that lens. Once he saw the camera, he would be fascinated by it and would crawl towards me trying to take the cam. I have to resort to shooting from afar with the Nikkor 55-200mm.
The t2i is probably the best in the canon field. The cheaper ones (canon) have a body of really cheap and fake plastic. Else go for Nikon. D3100,or d5100 . By far better and ergonomic body

I have iBeats, they're great but you have to have the right equalizer... With stock htc beats EQ the sound is not that good. With DSP-Manager it's frickin awesome! But without DSP it's just a normal pair of headphones not worth 100€... They can handle a lot of bass and that's the way they should be used
You should give beats products a miss. They are like apple, but in the audio world (as in too expensive for what it is). If you really want a good pair of earphones, visit head-fi.org and read some reviews there.
It mainly depends on what you want from your earphones/headphones, and your budget. If you want extremely high bass, I think the monster turbine series are worth a look.
If you want to impress people, though, get beats.

Beats audio in 2011 htc phones are only software, not sure about 2012. So if you install beats audio into your phone, it should sound the same as other 2011 htc phones.

Well - why buy beats? AFAIK it's mainly a product line sold with Dr dre's name, and they're said to be rather expensive and of rather low quality. That beats app to my knowledge mainly applies some equalizer settings, and buying a decent headphone set and applying a roughly similar equalizer with an app of your choice should give you similar or even better results at a comparable price IMHO

Sony are great. But the Software in the headset itself is pretty weak. I usually have iBeats but have to send them in for repairs so I'm using my spare Sony ones. You really have to do alot in DSP to unleash their full power, because they really can handle a lot of everything but the software in the headphones won't let them. It's like this:
iBeats - Hardware 60% / Headphones-Software +20% / DSP +20% -> 100% ... Software makes awesome sound of avarage headphones but if you tweal too much it will sound weird.
Sony - Hardware 80% / HP-Software -20% / DSP +40% -> 100% ... Software in the headphones suck but they can handle a lot of changes in DSP so they sound pretty much like Beats.
Other Stuff: Beats definitely look better, Beats have earphone wires with SAME lenght (With my Sony ones the right one is 4times as long as the left so you have to wear it over your neck which looks stupid and feels uncomfortable also.
Price: iBeats: 70€ /including lots of ear gums(don't know the right word), clip for shirt
Sony: 35€ /including clip but no ear gums and the stock ones are very small
So, I think this explains a little Hope it was worth typing
buy jays-a-jays four or one+
Much better and cheaper than beats
5!
Try with Altec Lansing, trust me, the best quality and perfect sound for acceptable price (somewhere near Sony).
So,
I've been putting my One to use today with it accompanying me on an internal flight in the UK.
Instead of using my SoundMagic earphones I decided to travel with the ones included and well, the audio quality is amazing, and a fair bit better than my usual headphones.
My question is, are they unbranded beats or just some decent unknown headphones by HTC?

Possibility is they take advices from Beats or have them monitor the engineering of the headsets.

If the stock headphones are as good as people say, that is tremendous news. HTC should promote that fact harder, and consumers won't have to spend an extra £30 to £50, on getting decent sound quality.
I have to agree. Sound better than my klipsch s4 with the bonus of added button and tangle free cord. Will compare to my sound magics in a bit

I'm wondering if the US carrier branded versions of these phones will come with the headsets as well. I haven't received a set of headphones with my phone since the Touch Pro. I'm sure it's probably under the carrier's discretion, but it'd be nice to have them stateside.
Imo I think the earphones are the best iv had with a phone but still a pile of #### the bass is simply way to saturated and lacks any replication of real bass sounds I.e. a bass drum or kick doesn't sound anything like a real kick, my cx300 2's and even beats tours are ey way better then the stock included ear phones however massively better then any other included and as good as ear pods by apple.

I've posted the AT&T HTC One page where ppl will be ordering from once it goes live. It says it comes with headphones... Don't know if they are the beats or just the normal HTC ones.

Pretty sure normal ones. The red ear tips ones that comes bundled with One. HTC stopped bundling beats earphones awhile back.

I wish they had volume controls.
They do look like 'Unmarked Beats', however, i saw a little rumour the other day telling me that they were actually made in the same factory, by the same Manufacturer / Supplier as Beats. I may be wrong, but he is quite high up in the Mobile Industry. . .
Not a chance these are unbranded beats, take it from an owner of that many ear/ head phones including beats tours and urbeats the bundled earphones are so far away from even urbeats in terms of sound quality they are like black and white. The earphones are very good for bundled but so far from any idea of audio clarity seen in beats earphones, anyone owning a set of tours will tell the same after hearing the bundled set.

what i dont get is why they dont have track controls like most bundled earphones?
im assuming the button will play / pause music and answer / end calls only? ive not actually used them yet
I have now tried a couple of the earphones and a couple off apps to allow for music control from the mic button presses on the earphones, but have not managed to get the HTC one skip track, let alone change volume.
Therefore I am thinking maybe the phone itself may be the issue (it always re-dials the last called when I double tap the button on the earphones)
Anyone had success with any earphones on the HTC one? (please don't comment if you have used a different HTC phone, as this problem may be HTC specific) if so, please help with specific details.
Thanks

I have the UR Beats as well for comparison. I agree that the standard headphones are weaker when reproducing bass, but otherwise the clarity and overall quality of sound reproduction is very good. If you travelling on public transport etc the free headset is actually a good option.
When I plug my beats headphones in (the ones coming with the One), it doesn't seem like they're plugged in correctly. Like if I twist or turn the headphones jack a bit, I get a crackling/distorted sound, but the headphones are plugged in as far as they can go. I even tried applying some force but they're as far in as they can go.
Sound faulty to me mate, do they work fine in any other device like an mp3 player or another phone? Worth checking ... to see if it's the phones or the phone lol

Tried them in another phone and it seems it's the same. The headphones don't seem to wanna plug in correctly. I tried a few other headsets on the One and they all connect as they should?
Why can't phone makers make completely flat jacks?
Lol who knows mate. My biggest gripe with the headphone jack on the one is that it's at the top. It should be at the bottom, that way when I take my phone out of my pocket, the screen is the right way up and facing me instead of it being the opposite.

I don't really care if the jack is at the top or the bottom as long as it's on the top or bottom and not on any of the sides.

Most definitely, and I completely abhor phones which have the charging ports on the sides.
I think you could probably change them at you're local dealer. It sounds like they won't do it in any case.
Also the headphone are not beats. You mean the in-ear headphones?

I think it could be that these are beats headphones. Anyone knows that HTC has an big deal with beats. Do they sound good? I haven't used mine yet because I have an AKG over ear headphones, which sounds very good.

I'd bet money on the earphones being Beats, just unbranded ones ... I have used mine and compared to some Sony ones, which I paid about 70 squid for, they sound every bit as good, if not better ... Fact is, Beats or not, they sound very good and are by far, the best earphones I've ever received with a phone, or mp3 player for that matter.

Okay that's really good. I came from iPhone and the earphones there are really bad. Only the new ones from the iPhone 5 are sounding a bit better. Since i'm using my over ears AKG headphones I think I can use the in ear from HTC for sports etc...

Try cleaning the jack with a damp cloth - worked for me with the new Beats phones

The jack isn't the issue, because other headphones work well. It seems to be the headphone pin. The thing you insert into the jack.

The iPhone 5 was my previous phone after my Xperia Ray so when I traded up to my One (the mere suggestion of anything bettering an iPhone would have fanboys abusing me about now) I decided to keep the Apple Pods as they call them lol but tbh they are nothing special, certainly not as good as the ones with the One, my opinion of course but I do consider myself somewhat of an Audiophile. :laugh:

Yes, that's what I meant - the jack/plug on the headphones, not the socket on the phone handset.

But the new "earpods" are slightly better than the old ones until the iphone 4s. But I'm not an audiophile like you. I would use those in ear headphones only for sports or somewhat. At home I'm using an over ear headphone from akg because they are much more comfortable and sounds better for me.

That is completely normal, use a gold plated headphone and try again

It is normal if you use regular headphones, gold plated jacks eliminate this issue.

While the headphones aren't bad they probably aren't beats. they are built very cheaply and are not anywhere as bass heavy as beats would be. Mine died about a week after using them with computer.
